- 2027 Honoree in Products in Support of Human Security for All
NM-010 is a 3D-printed modular multicopter designed for emergency response, public safety, and industrial operations. Built on a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), it carries mission payloads of up to 2 kg (EO/IR cameras, communication relay equipment, environmental sensors, or emergency supplies) in front and rear bays that can be replaced without modifying the aircraft. Each aircraft functions as a relay node in a self-forming mesh network, maintaining command and data links where ground infrastructure is damaged or absent, and a single Ground Control Station coordinates up to 3 aircraft under one operator. The aircraft features a detachable arm structure that enables compact transportation, simplified maintenance, and rapid field replacement of individual components. Its hybrid manufacturing approach, combining 3D-printed parts with structural components, allows damaged components to be reproduced and replaced individually. NM-010 provides response organizations with one adaptable aerial platform instead of multiple single-purpose aircraft.
